slow down mummy, there is no need to rush,
slow down mummy, what is all the fuss?
slow down mummy, make yourself a cup of tea.
slow down mummy, come spend some time with me.
slow down mummy, let's pull boots on for a walk,
let's kick at piles of leaves, and smile and laugh and talk.
slow down mummy, you look ever so tired,
come sit and snuggle under the duvet, and rest with me a while.
slow down mummy, those dirty dishes can wait,
slow down mummy, let's have some fun - bake a cake!
slow down mummy, I know you work a lot,
but sometimes mummy, it's nice when you just stop.
sit with us a minute,
and listen to our day,
spend a cherished moment,
because our childhood won't stay!

I dont know why, but I teared a little when I read the above (nak uzur agaknya).
When Ny was still in my tummy, I work my ass off, I was fortunate not to have any morning sickness, so no mabuk mabuk, I was not that tired, I feel heavy but I can still jump and climb and walk and swim and do events and decorate birthday parties and hold meeting and night meeting.
Then one Saturday after a week of back to back night meeting. My body break down. My water bag burst, and at that time Ny was only 7 months in the tummy.
I was too engrossed with my life that I forget that I have another life in me. I realised how selfish I was and keep blaming myself for her premature birth.
She was in the incubator for 2 weeks in the NICU and need to be tube feed. I cry myself every night. I vowed to pull the handbrake to chill with work, pergi JAHANAM with night inspection (apologies for the choice of word, but that word works).
Baby.. full attention will be with you. We will paint each other faces with make up and play tea with mouse, paul and baby (names of her 3 favourite soft toy), throw flash cards out of the balcony and pick it up afterwords, dance the night away to mickey mouse club, sing out loud to Taylor swift and One direction, watch and rewatch of Upin Ipin, play and race with skate scotter, read you the same book over and over again, and dodoi you to sleep everynight. I promise. I love you sweetheart to the moon and back.
